The Good Stuff
Coffee Stop
Mokha1450 was specifically mentioned as a standout coffee shop in the centre.
Manqeesh
Mamaesh's meat cheese manqeesh was singled out as a dish worth trying.
Easy Layout
One visitor found the market easy to navigate.
Fresh Stock
Earlier reviews praised the store's hygiene, quality and fresh items, though newer reviews conflict on produce quality.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check Status. Confirm the listing before travelling: recent reviews say Aswaaq closed and SAVA discount center replaced it.
Inspect Fruit. If the grocery section is operating under a new name, check fruit carefully before buying.
Carry Smaller Notes. Avoid relying on a 500-dirham note for a small shop; one customer was unable to get change.
Plan Parking. Allow for limited, uncovered parking, which an older review estimated at 40 to 50 cars.
Check Printouts. If you need stationery printing, confirm the machine is working before relying on it.

The Bottom Line
The biggest thing to know is that this listing may no longer represent an operating Aswaaq Mart. Reviews from June 2026 say Aswaaq closed in the area and that SAVA discount center would replace it, so check current status before setting out in Bur Dubai. The older picture is of a small, easy-to-navigate supermarket inside a compact community centre rather than a full-scale mall destination.
When it was operating, shoppers came for everyday groceries and a few nearby extras. Reviews mention a coffee shop, the speciality coffee outlet Mokha1450, and Mamaesh pastries, with the meat cheese manqeesh getting a particularly enthusiastic mention. The centre was also described as having a mobile shop, pharmacy and pet shop, making it useful for a quick local errand rather than a long shopping trip.
There are some practical caveats in the older feedback. Parking was described as very limited—roughly 40 to 50 cars—and another customer complained about being charged on entering. Bring a payment method that does not depend on change for a 500-dirham note, and inspect fruit carefully: one reviewer reported repeatedly finding it rotten.
Cleanliness feedback is mixed too, with earlier praise for hygiene but a later complaint about a dusty washroom.
